- The Herman Miller Aeron Gaming chair brings the Iconic design of the Aeron with gaming setups in mind. I am a huge fan of Herman Miller products, and the Aeron has been my dream chair for a long time. I have been using the Aeron Gaming Chair for a couple of weeks now and I am really impressed. Coming from a Secretlab Titan, and a Trial with the Herman Miller Embody Gaming chair, I have a good grasp on this chair's competition and what it does better. In this video Ill be giving you my review and final impressions of the Aeron Gaming Chair. How is it different from the Aeron Remastered Chair? Is this truly the Endgame office chair? Lets find out. Thanks for tuning in!

Going from a dxracer to an aeron C I was quite suprised by the difference in comfort. The Aeron is like sitting on a cloud. Dxracer is like sitting on a wood board in comparison. Now I always look forward to getting off work and sitting in my Aeron.
finally a tall person to review this chair. I am 6'6" and just bought a C, sounds like this is the right size. I went with the high cylinder also.
ofc. u r a giant mess.
Nice review!
I've used the "exact same model"(minus gaming features) for a few years now. The only bad thing about this chair is that it raises your standards to a certain level that makes it difficult to accept other chairs, specially for long working hours haha. The amount of customization it holds are mindblowingly helpful!
Jokes aside, I have a thing called Coccydynia, which makes my coccyx hurt when sitting on hard surfaces. This chair and its customizations helps me very much with that! The net is soft, easy to clean and very durable. Nothing looks nor feel cheap.
And even though i bought it as a open box product(used in stores), they gave me the 12 year warranty.
Thanks so much for watching! I agree those expensive chairs have a lot to offer, and it’s great you were able to get a deal and the full warranty! Awesome job :)
great work, best review of the aeron and I watched a ton. keep up your good structure and explanations!
Thanks so much for watching and I really appreciate your amazing feedback! Will keep more content coming! :)
I have the leap and Aeron at work, and an Aeron at home. Aeron with SL support all day. Be warned, the SL support assumes your back curvature is normal. Your back may be temporarily stuck in a warped position if you’ve had bad posture for a while. You’ve got to learn how to properly sit with trial and error and this chair will be extremely comfortable all day.
Currently have an embody which is pissing my lower back off. Just pulled the trigger on one of these to see if it is a better fit. I’ve ordered the C. I’m 5.11 and 182cm tall so I’m hoping I’ve picked right
10:10 this spot on, I had this for a few days and couldn't accept the hard plastic bits pressing against my thighs in any sitting position other than upright straight. Although, in retrospect that is the point and I'm debating whether to give it another chance, whilst also trying out the larger size (C).
Yes you can also try the Embody if the hard plastic is really bad
this video helped me a lot. thanks for making it
Just got mine and an embody at the same time. Immediately this chair is leaps better than the embody for sitting at the computer it give so much support when sitting upright. The embody you have to lean back into it which is the opposite of what i want to do when i am typing.
98 subs!? You deserve way more! Really good video im seriously considering this since I'm home alot more now
Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate your support. I hope the channel continues to grow! Good luck with your chair search :)
I got a used perfect condition 2015 model for $675... they only had B’s in stock and I drove 7 hours so I felt like I had to commit. After a few months use I hate myself for not trying a C.
I’m 6’2 160kg and it really does not fit me. The top of the chair plastic hits my middle-upper spine and the front of the seat only covers half my thigh-in an awkward pressure point.
Seriously, try out both closest sizes before committing and being a dummy like I was.
I have both classic and remastered aeron side by side. The remastered is smoother and better overall.
Yea im a bigger guy too and glad I got the C. When I got my dxracer 5 years ago, I made the mistake on not gettting one wide enough for me.
rhat was indeed very stupid of u.
oh i am so glad i got the aeron r in size c. i am 6' 2" and its feels so darn good.
the seat is attached to the back so the arms would move with you regardless if they were attached to the seat back or the seat pan
also you can put your legs up in an aeron, i do it all the time in mine, its super comfy
Sold buying one! Thanks
Congrats!! Thanks for watching :)
Dope review. Really shows of the chair nicely. I first had the Embody Gaming and i just couldnt get the backrest to work for long periods of time. It always started to hurt either my shoulder blades or my lumbar region. Now i have the Aeron and i just feel like its the better fit. I can sit in it for whole days without any discomfort to speak off. Its not as suppotive (still very good ofc) and you will hit the frame if you stretch but the build seems more refined and there is close to no noise no matter how much you move. If i sit and recline with a straight posture it can really feel like floating sometimes.
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate the awesome feedback :) glad you’re enjoying your chair!
@Le Justicier du Net you can get an Atlas Headrest if you want. The Aeron is designed to be an ergonic chair. Sitting cross legged is not ergonomic at all.
I also have the embody which after a year I believe it’s aggravating my lower back. I’ve just pulled the trigger on an aeron c. This comment gives me hope
Really clean review. I also play a lot and work at my desk. I ordered my aeron onyx full black 🤤 cant wait to get it... The forward function looks cool. I play a lot of FPS. Is it good for it ? Thanks
Great review man 🙂
Just a question. I read on places that between seat and knees should be space of one fist at max. Your seems to be more? Im 6.3 and 242pounds and cant decide on what to buy between gesture and aeron
Hi! With I’m at 6’5 mostly legs so I always have more than one fist with any chair
Great video thanks! Are you longer in the legs or torso? Looks like your legs are further out than the recommended 2 to 3 finger widths from back of your calves to edge of seat?
Yes you are right. I’m 6’5 ft tall. And my legs are longer than my torso. I actually have around 6-9 fingers width with most chairs on the market, but most chairs chairs with great back support don’t focus on taller people, so I’ve gotten used to it over the years.
@@MoeTechReviews awesome thank you! I’m 6’5 as well and looking at the Aeron, Embody, Gesture and X-Chair X3 w/ headrest. The X3 was fantastic and have appointments to sit in the other 3 chairs this week to make a decision. If Aeron works out I will be getting the Atlas headrest. Would definitely like to see you review the Atlas for yours. Thanks again for all of your great content!
Try the gaming embody as well. That’s what I’m using now, it has higher shoulder for taller people
Hi can anyone tell me is the gaming the fully adjustable Aeron or one that only has certain adjustment/features?
Fully
Very good, comprehensive, review.
Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate your awesome feedback! :)
Hi. Nice review. I have a slightly uneven hard flooring, will the castors allow for this chair to stay in one place while I sit on it? Also you have mentioned gaming features but I cannot see any aditional features over standard aeron except black colour.
Hi, Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the review. Unfortunately I can’t really tell you if that would be the case, as I did not face a similar situation. But maybe using a rug can help. In terms of differences for the gaming edition as I have mentioned starting minute 1:32, the only difference here is the black colour :)
High quality review 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Any idea what part of the seat they use to make the 22.8" measurement for the high height version? Is that the height measured at the center of the mesh, or maybe from some part of the plastic seat frame?
And in another comment you said you keep your desk at 31". Do you keep your chair at the max height when your desk is at 31"?
When I compared it, it measured to the center but I am not completely sure how Hm measures. I keep all my chairs at max height because I am 6’5 tall
I wish they still sold the classic, it was objectivly better, better parts (metal as appose to plastic) and it had infinite tilt lock whereas with the remaster you can have it free to recline in response to your weight or be fixed upright. The arms were also better on the classic since the material was better, less rounded so there was more space and felt better when adjusting, the mesh was also better quality. I supposed the only upside to the remaster is the lack of foam front but with it and the longer seat made the classic feel better still D:
Remastered come with metal structure and metal base options too. I heard someone prefer plastic for less weight and they dont like metallic sound. More choices, more benefit.
I bought the aeron remastered in onyx and it seems that my metal portion is darker than yours (that helps raise or lower the chair) and seems to be currently cheaper to purchase than the gaming version. I did not know the gaming version existed, but I had to buy size A anyway.
Hi there great review, just wondering does this have any forward tilt on the chair
It does.
What’s the difference with the remastered?
No difference other than colour
I've just ordered the the logitech Embody, I seen your other video and just seen this! I'm 5ft8, 12 stone, I was looking at this chair and it was a tough choice, now I'm worried if I made the right choice, the main reason I purchased an expensive chair with good design is for correct posture as I spend a lot of time sitting for work and my hobbie photography editing, the aerion was a £150 cheaper too, thinking about calling them tomorrow and changing the order to this chair!
Hi Ray. Thanks so much for watching the videos. I totally get it! Both chairs are great, and it’s a tough choice. It really boils down to personal preference in design and materials. Best of luck!
@@MoeTechReviews just delivered this morning, theres no noise on mine and it doesnt push me into a forward position, feels really solid and well made, I think they may have changed a few things, I'm in the UK, also for me the lumbar support works really well, this was my main concern, but it seems for my height and weight (5ft8, 12 stone) it is perfect, I'm pretty confident I won't be returning this, thanks for posting your review and responding to my comment.
That’s awesome to hear Ray! Congrats on the chair. I’m glad to hear it has worked out for you. And it’s my pleasure thanks for watching the reviews!
@@MoeTechReviews looking forward to all your future content, 👍
I got my embody last Friday. Been spending the week breaking it in and I have to say I have never been as comfortable working from home.
LOVE THE REVIEW ! May I ask what desk and monitor mount you are using?
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching. Yes, I’m using the Dell MSA20 Monitor Arm and the Idasen Desk from IKEA. I’m dropping a setup tour video in the next days. Make sure to check it out if you want to know more :)
the chart is useless, I try this chair in person and the chart says that I need a B but I feel the B too small, like the chair pushed me the edge, so I think I need the C even that I'm not tall.
Agree. Chart-wise I would need size A. But trying that in store I found size B to be a better fit. Eventually ended up taking the Herman Miller Embody. The RH Logic 400 was my runner-up. Bottom-line. Always try and test these chairs in real life if you can.
I bought an Embody gaming and I've had it for a week now. It's a really comfortable chair. But I just can't stop thinking about the Aeron for its optional aftermarket headrest because I recline a lot when watching videos or just simply want to relax. I can't do that with Embody because when I recline with my Embody, there's no support for my neck/head. I am thinking to return my Embody gaming for an Aeron because of this.
Do you have any experience with Aeron headrest? If you do, how are they? Are they high enough to reach your head and be able to keep your head in the right position where your eyes can be at the same level as your monitor?
Thanks for watching! I haven’t had any experience with any of the headrests yet, but I have started looking into them as well, I am also thinking it would be a nice addition for reclining.
the mesh is better on the Aeron, specially on hot days.
Atlas is launching a headrest for the Embody & Embody Gaming, worth a check ;)
So is this worth $1400 price tag? I usually buy $200 chair from amazon and they usually last 2 years or so before I buy new one. I am really considering buying one coz it is on amazon for $1000 right now and with 12 years warranty, I rather use the best one since I am already paying like $100 per year for chair anyway.
Definitely worth it if you spend a lot of time in a chair. 😊
Thanks for a great review :) Something that I don´t really understand, Is that being you tall and having also an adjustable table, yo sat the table so low in comparison with your eyes line... at least is what is showed at the video... Didn´t you tried to raise a bit the table to find a better position?
Thanks for watching :) Yea sometimes during shooting, I don’t have enough space to get things in the shot how I want it, so some adjustments need to be made during shooting to get everything in frame. But now it’s all been fixed in my newer videos :)
Hey, nice Video! What's your opinion on the non-locking backrest? In the video it looks like you need to put a lot of force on the backrest to stay in a more relaxed positon - or am i wrong here?
Thanks so much! The force will all depend on how loose you have your recline tension. With all the ergo chairs you can play around with the tension until you find one that suits your weight :) hope that helps
@@MoeTechReviews Thanks for answering! I now bought the chair and i'm pretty exited!
Great product description! I wish it had a head rest.
Thanks so much. There are some third party headrests that you can get for it :) Atlas Headrest is the best
@@MoeTechReviews I've heard those are great
Moe, what camera do ya use?
I use my iPhone 12 Pro Max to make all my videos!
Harman Miller ❤️❤️
Can’t decide between this or the Logitech embody. Think the Embody may be better for me. Fingers crossed.
Thanks so much for watching! I think they are both great chairs. Best of luck in your purchase! :)
I would definitely pick the Embody
aeron all day.
love the review... personally i'm undecided between the aeron, the embody and expecially the cosm high back, because i like mesh chairs and headrests, but i don't know about the use of it as a daily working/gaming chair for 8+ hours a day
Thanks so much for watching! It’s a really hard choice. All these chairs are excellent, and I love both the Embody and Aeron. Best of luck with your choice!
what did you buy? if you bought anything yet :)
@@onyxsolace5398 unfortunately nothing yet 😅
@@giuseppepaolini6754 Go with Herman Miller Aeron or Steelcase gesture. If you like to cross your legs white sitting or put your legs on something like a leg rest then get the Embody because the Aeron will hurt you. If I could go back in time, I would have gotten the Steelcase gesture as I don't like sitting on mesh the embody is too curved making me slide off.
Does it have a recline lock? You like this over the Embody?
It doesn’t have a recline lock, but it has a recline limiter to limit how far you can go back. I do prefer it over the Embody personally because it fits me better, but I think both chairs are awesome.
Should have bought this instead. I'm 6 months into owning a Gaming Embody, and the squeaking is absolutely killing me. I mean, I knew there was gonna be some noise - there's so much plastic and moving parts involved - but now I'm hearing some metal grinding noises that are definitely crossing the line. Don't think I can take another 11 years of this.
good lord, did this get any better over time??
great video and I'm going to order mine
may I know what's the size you bought as I'm 6 feet
thanks.
Thanks so much for watching and for your awesome feedback. I have the Size C
@@MoeTechReviews thanks, I'd think so :)
@@andychang7137 i also have 6 feet and have a C model. Its perfect.
I love my Aeron so much. How ever for some reasson my keyboard arm hurts a lot when gaming no matter how I set the arm rest. Any tips ?
I usually don’t use arm pads at all while gaming, I set them below the desk or slide them back to the furthest position and rest my arms on the table
@@MoeTechReviews do you not find that uncomfortable after a while though?
I personally find that to be comfortable but if you don’t then I would advise you to set the arms right at the desk level so your that your arms are completely level going from the chair armpads to your table, that would be the most ergonomic position
@@projectzeus I'm the same the arm rest are not for me cannot get comfortable with them at all so won't be using this chair now
@@Pennycott5 just out of curiosity. How long have you been using the arm rests?
If you had to pick only one.... Embody or Aeron? Great video!
Thanks so much for watching and for your awesome feedback! I would go with the Aeron, just because it fits me better :)
me too, aeron for sure
Never knew there was a gaming edition
Yea! They weren’t too loud about this one :)
@@MoeTechReviews What's the difference though?
@@Slipsch Hi, In terms of differences for the gaming edition as I have mentioned starting minute 1:32, the only difference here is the black color :)
@@MoeTechReviews Yeahs I saw that but there's a price different so I was wondering if there are other differences.
@@Slipsch There is no difference in price when you put the same configurations on the standard Aeron. The gaming Aeron is basically a fully loaded Standard Aeron in black
Can you sit feet crossed on the chair (indian style) on this herman miller
No with this chair you can’t really
Where is the sizing guide? I don’t see it.
It’s actually on the Herman Miller website
7:55, no creaking or any noises, i had to laugh there, i brought the Aeron Gaming Edition after watching your review, after 4 replacement i can report that all of them had creaking and other noises, and the chair is anything else but premium, customer service in Germany is even worse than the quality of the chair.
Germany's a socialist hellhole. Idk what you expected.
Gaming version is just industrial term for ''lesser quality'' since they are mass produced and no personalisation option.
Great video! I have a SecretLab Titan and am finding that I still suffer from back pain, so am considering the Aeron. Can I ask you to describe in a little more detail what challenges you faced with the Titan?
Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I think the Titan was a great chair when I only used it to game a few hours at night. It was actually better than the chair I had at work so I loved it. When I started working from home though, I started spending a lot of time at my desk. The Titan’s foam is really firm which is good at keeping me up but it’s a bit unforgiving over longer hours. The lumbar support in the Titan is also a hard foam that pushes the lumbar region forward. Because it’s so hard and firm I would eventually start slouching. I felt that the design and materials of the Titan expect me to adapt to them, which can get tiring when I sit well over 8 hours a day.
I have the Titan and I hate it. The backrest is completely uneven and crooked. Many people on Reddit have the same issue and even Secretlab is aware but they use the “handmade” excuse. Made my sciatica so much worse. I’m deciding between the Herman Miller Logitech Embody and this.
@@joshjbeats Dude go with Noblechair. Far more superior
I find the arm rest uncomfortable for keyboard and mouse
You show two models on the video, the B and C, you have two sizes, why?
I only show one model in the video which is a Size C
Please also tell me your desk height from floor.
My desk is height adjustable so I can choose any height. I usually keep it at 31 inches
I was so excited to try this chair out but after 2 seconds I hated it. The seat cups the sides of my legs too much and the lip digs into the back of my legs. Felt like a 200 chair can't believe how expensive it is
Thanks so much for watching! Maybe try out a non mesh chair, that way there won’t be a hard frame around the seat. The Embody is another chair I have from Herman Miller and I’ve also reviewed it on the channel. Best of luck with your chair search!
You need to get a bigger model most likely you have an A or B
Wish it could incline more ..
Hmmm 1500 you can buy a Hag Chair which is way better for ergo.
which one? Capisco?
Is this size c ?
Yes this is a size C :)
How tall are you? tnanks
Thanks for watching! I’m 6’5 :)
👏👏
It’s a shame that the base of the Aeron chair is now made of plastic on most variants. From personal experience it will sag over time making it impossible to even drag the chair over low pile carpet. For such an expensive item this is unacceptable. Herman Miller is refusing to fix this problem under warranty.
😎
The price man... 😢😢😢
👍
👍👍👍👍
Wait, you forgot the biggest con: the price is unreasonably expensive.
Considering people buy used ones from the 90s that still function perfectly and look almost new they are definitely worth it. Plus a 12 year warranty is pretty unbeatable.
Just an constructive opinion, the thing that bothered me most is that you talk like you're reading something (and maybe you are, and that's no problem. Scripts are always a good help). But try to sound like your having a dialog with someone with a little more excitement. Hope it helps! Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching! And I appreciate your feedback. I will pay more attention to the dialogue in my future reviews :)
looks ugly like most office chairs to me 😅
Honestly his table is more interesting to me.
What table brand is that ?
Hi there great review, just wondering does this have any forward tilt on the chair
Thanks! Yes it does
Maybe watch the freaking video
